An ode to Joyce (contains bad language and a bad temperament)

    My brother decided it was a good idea to engage me in a bet. The bet - €50 if I read Ulysses in one week. The result - an untimely descent in to madness documented below. I felt like I was getting mentally violated with every passing chapter. My apologies to all Joyce lovers... the man is beyond me.

    The face you adopted for the heavenly ritual of flight
    Set to lure meek heads in to a coven of fancy and f**kery
    Enslaving, one by one, those ardent followers of folly
    Through a relentless insouciant thrashing of their wits
    Derision as bitter as your laughter
    Which I swear I hear tinkling beyond Aoibhell's harp

    A plaguing taunting hellion of delusional dispatches,
    A gentle slaughter waiting for all who pray and prey on your words
    Welded you have me
    In your ineluctable conflagration of exalted streams
    Am I to drown too, amongst you allusions, collapsed under the seas of Mananaan?
    A wager to waver my weary pate...
    Your cursed diaphanous threads latching at the frays of my peace
    An obdurate fiend with puppets of pen
    So warped you undo me
    Well go F**k yourself then!
